A few of my favorite things about my new kitchen: small compact size loaded with storage; abundant counter space; bold color and happy tile; induction range.

And it's a very handy show & tell for clients. Come for a visit!

This image of saturated blue and red was my starting point.

I knew I wanted bright blue cabinets.

And very happily ended up here!

Showplace Cabinetry offers any Sherwin Williams paint as a custom color. I fell in love with Honorable Blue SW6811. Countertop was easy: American made quartz Cambria's Portrush - veins of dark blue and black with flecks of gold. I knew I wanted a star patterned backsplash tile and found the perfect one at Somer Tile. Brought in the 2-tone matte black + luxe gold and angular shapes in the Brizo Litze faucet and the wall sconces.

I'm so excited to have this 4-bin kitchen waste management cabinet accessory.

1. 35 QT bin = commingled glass/metal/plastic recycling
2. 35 QT bin = paper/cardboard recycling
3. 8 QT = compost
4. 8 QT = incinerator garbage

I intentionally planned for the garbage bin to be small since most of our waste is recycled or composted.

Biggest take-away:

All the garbage is food packaging, mostly plastic that can't be recycled. : (
